I need some help figuring out how I can extend my main OS (ssd and expand it with a hard drive), I have tried the EaseUS program but with no luck. How else would I go about doing this?

I think you should really avoid doing that if you can. If you're running out of space on the OS drive, I'd recommend reinstalling your programs but onto the HDD.

Also, if you're set on doing it I would like to sway you further by saying that if you lose one drive a lot of things are going to stop working (which you of course already know, just reinforcing the point).

Sig under construction.

Dont extend a drive. Just DO NOT.

 

Get another drive and store ur stuff on it instead or save ur downloads to another existing drive etc

Correct me if I'm wrong but are you trying to delete a partition to add more space to your OS partition?

 

I'm a bit confused here
